Dive In - W Muscat is Hosting Fuel Weekend

United Arab Emirates, Dubai - 8 September 2019 – W Hotels is pumped to announce its second FUEL Weekend in Middle East and Africa at the newly opened W Muscat from 17^th-20^th October.

Work it all off with high intensity workouts, unwind at the signature AWAY SPA or party hard… from adrenaline-fueled activities to relaxing rituals, to healthy dining, FUEL Weekend at W Muscat has it all covered.

“We know our guests work hard and they play harder. So, when it comes to W Escapes we push boundaries with settings from chill to play and everything in between,” said Candice D’Cruz Vice President Luxury Brands Marriott International Middle East and Africa. “After a wildly successful FUEL Weekend at W Dubai -The Palm earlier this year, where our guests got to hit escape to the city’s bold and beautiful beat with fun and fuel, we are excited to bring our high-energy event to the coastal haven of Muscat.
